TLDR
The results suggest that estimated whole-brain and lobe-specific RF-EMF doses were not related to brain volumes in preadolescents at 9-12 years old, and further studies on mobile communication devices and their potential negative associations with brain development are warranted, regardless whether associations are due to RF- EMF exposure or to other factors related to their use.About:

TL;DR: Analytical methods for SAR estimation in several usage scenarios were derived through a large-scale numerical study and provide an estimation of the SAR in the whole body, tissues and organs, and different brain regions.

TL;DR: There was limited evidence for an association between low-to-moderate doses of IR and a decrease in general cognition and language abilities and a possible stronger effect when exposure occurred early in life, in particular, during the fetal period.

TL;DR: This first large study of RF dose to the brain and body of children and adolescents shows that mobile phone calls on 2G networks are the main determinants of brain dose, especially in temporal and frontal lobes, whereas whole-body doses were mostly determined by tablet and laptop use.

The Brief Symptom Inventory: an introductory report.
TL;DR: The BSI was developed from its longer parent instrument, the SCL-90-R, and psychometric evaluation reveals it to be an acceptable short alternative to the complete scale, and factor analytic studies of the internal structure of the scale contribute evidence of construct validity.

TL;DR: Of critical concern is the possibility that developmental exposure to neurotoxicants may result in an acceleration of age-related decline in function, and the fact that developmental neurotoxicity that results in small effects can have a profound societal impact when amortized across the entire population and across the life span of humans.

An improved Bonferroni procedure for multiple tests of significance
TL;DR: In this article, a modification of the Bonferroni procedure for testing multiple hypotheses is presented, based on the ordered p-values of the individual tests, which is less conservative than the classical BFP but is still simple to apply.

The amygdala modulates the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences
TL;DR: Findings from animal and human studies indicate that the amygdala mediates the memory-modulating effects of adrenal stress hormones and several classes of neurotransmitters and plays a key role in enabling emotionally significant experiences to be well remembered.

Causal Knowledge as a Prerequisite for Confounding Evaluation: An Application to Birth Defects Epidemiology
TL;DR: Findings are presented from the Slone Epidemiology Unit Birth Defects Study, 1992-1997, a case-control study on folic acid supplementation and risk of neural tube defects, which suggests that the crude odds ratio should be used because the adjusted odds ratio is invalid.
